* "
Woe to you ,
blind guides ,
who say , "
Whoever swears by the temple ,
it is nothing ;
but whoever swears by the gold of the temple ,
he is obliged to perform it .'
*
Fools and blind !
For which is greater ,
the gold or the temple that sanctifies the gold ?
*
And , "
Whoever swears by the altar ,
it is nothing ;
but whoever swears by the gift that is on it ,
he is obliged to perform it .'
*
Fools and blind !
For which is greater ,
the gift or the altar that sanctifies the gift ?
*
Therefore he who swears by the altar ,
swears by it and by all things on it .
*
He who swears by the temple ,
swears by it and by Him who dwells in it .
